High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.2.39, well behind 6.8.

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    This previously has been a very important add-on to Gravity Form for my and my clients. However, the plugin does not seem to be supported any longer and the persistence of file uploads and compatibility with the persistence “Save” button are now broken. File upload data being lost is a deal breaker for me. I understand the developer isn’t making $ and support is thankless. Unfortunately, it’s necessary to keep up with WordPress and Gravity Forms. **adjusted for past value -1 star for unlikelihood of future updates. This topic was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by squidz.

    This is a vital and great plugin. I couldn’t live without it. So good, I wanted to try and make a donation, but couldn’t for some reason. Thank you plugin author! Please maintain this one. Just FYI – I was trying to remove the avatar from user profile in admin by going to options and show avatar =0. This deleted all persistent data on the site. Not sure why, but it scared the %^$^%$ out of me until I could figure out what it was.

    We have a very long Gravity Form on our website, and customers often complain that they accidentally click out of it and lose everything. Since GF doesn’t have any kind of “are you sure you want to exit?” built in, I installed this plugin. It works fantastically! And whats better is that the settings are even more comprehensive than I thought they’d be for such a small plugin. Thank you author!

    I’ve been using this plugin on a 7 page form and it’s been awesome. Had an issue where variables assigned using WP query_vars were not populating dynamic fields correctly – when some of the fields were not using data persistence – and the plugin author responded really quickly with useful information. Couldn’t ask for more. A well supported, useful plugin. Perfect.
